By the time Xu Yan revealed what he had found out about Cui Zhan, Emperor Huiping's face was already pale.
"Where is he?" The voice is almost stiff.
Xu Yan paused, "Brother Chen had been sending people to keep an eye on him before, but after the fifth day of the junior high school, he suddenly disappeared. The power of Brother Hechen and Tsing Yi still failed to find his whereabouts. He looked at Emperor Huiping's iron-blue face, and the idea of intercession that had sprouted at that moment disappeared in an instant.
Tolerate and nurture traitors, behind Emperor Huiping is not only the throne, but also the world.
Emperor Huiping sat there in silence for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "It's time to close the net." Immediately summoned Duan Bao in and asked him to go to Xuanqing Yiwei's commander, the commander of the forbidden army and other cronies.
It was the beginning of the night, except that the inside and outside of the teaching workshop were still brightly lit, and the streets and alleys of the capital were all plunged into the darkness of dark clouds and moon.
The forbidden army and the Tsing Yi guard shot at the same time, and rushed to several important winged mansions in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but the men and horses of the brigade drove towards the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and the bright torches were reflected outside the Hou Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the soldiers were each dressed in armor and held guns, and the deputy commander of the forbidden army personally led the team to surround the two mansions.
In addition to gold and silver utensils and other things, there are also things such as the spiritual seat of Prince Zhaoming in the secret room, which were personally ordered by the deputy commander of the forbidden army to be packed and sealed, and forwarded to the imperial front.
Hundreds of maids and servants in the abdomen were all arrested, and the couple in the second room of Cui Mansion and their children, Cui Xun, the eldest son of Cui Xuanli, Marquis of Ningyuan, the eldest daughter-in-law, the county lord of Tong'an, the second son Cui Che, and the distant cousins who lived in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, were brought into the prison one by one.
However, after searching the Mansion of the Marquis of Ningyuan and the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Leyang, all the servants and grandmothers were there, but the Eldest Princess of Leyang and the Marquis of Ningyuan and his wife were missing.
When Xu Yan and Emperor Huiping learned of these news in the palace, they were shocked by each other-
What is the ability of the guards under Xu Yan's command, Emperor Huiping has a number, not to mention that since Layue, the entire Tsing Yi Guard and the forbidden army have strengthened their vigilance, even if it is not obvious on the surface, but secretly it is more and more strict, almost turning the capital into iron and copper, airtight.
Since Cui Zhan disappeared, the Tsing Yi guards buried in various parts of the capital have the power to search, and they have disappeared for more than ten days.
What's even more terrifying is that the eldest princess of Leyang, who spoke to Xu Yan after Ming Yuanxi, although the undercurrent was surging at that time, she was still able to maintain peace on the surface and show no traces. And in just two days, the two of them seemed to have disappeared suddenly, even if they dug the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion three feet into the ground, there was no trace.
avoided Xu Yan's guards, avoided the Tsing Yi guards, and avoided the forbidden army.
It was as if a drop of water had seeped into the sand and disappeared in an instant.
What a terrible thing that is!
At that moment, Emperor Huiping ordered a strict trial of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and others, and announced that Shoufu, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing and others continued to enter the palace overnight.
Within two days, the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion was convicted of communicating with foreign countries and attempting to rebel, and all the charges written in the edict were found to be substantiated, and the government was sentenced to detention pending beheading. Those unrelated people at the bottom have now been killed, but the lives of Ning Yuanhou's two sons and the county lord's daughter-in-law are still kept first, so as to be a bargaining chip against the eldest princess of Leyang.
After two days of strict searching, there was no trace of the eldest princess and Cui Zhan in Leyang, but the Tsing Yi guard in Taining came with news that Cui Zhan had quietly arrived in the west and his whereabouts were secret.
As soon as this news came, Xu Yan could almost conclude that Marquis Ning Yuan, who had led his troops to fight, should be on his way to Taining.
And what they have to do next is probably to raise the banner of Prince Zhaoming and raise troops to rebel.
It's just that where the eldest princess of Leyang is, she has become a mystery.
The rest of the things in the capital don't need him to worry about too much, although Emperor Huiping is obsessed with Taoism, and the government has been slightly sparse in recent years, but once he does it with his heart, he can control the overall situation almost immediately, and he is still the emperor who was resolute when he first ascended the throne. All things were assigned, and the wings of the eldest princess Leyang who stayed in the capital were pulled out a lot, although the eldest princess of Leyang has buried a lot of foreshadowing in the past ten years, fortunately, there is the entire Tsing Yi Wei to act, but it can also be handled.
What Xu Yan has to do now is to recuperate, once there is a stir in Taining, and the surrounding states and counties are unable to suppress it, it should be him again.
It was still early when she returned to the Shaking Light Courtyard, and Shen Yu had just finished her meal and was walking alone in the pavilion.
Seeing Xu Yan return early, Shen Yu was surprised, "Your Highness came back so early today?" ”
"Things have already been assigned, and I'm just lazy." He hadn't been close to Shen Yan for a long time, so he took her hand and walked into the house, "Just now, Gu An came to report from there, saying that my mother-in-law promised to come to the capital, and if you count the days, you can arrive at the end of February." Happy? ”
"Of course I'm glad!" Shen Yan was full of smiles, and when Xu Yan sat down, she spontaneously went over to help him rub his temples, "Your Highness has been working hard for those things in the past two days, and your whole face has become a lot haggard." I couldn't sleep a few days ago, but I can always have a good rest tonight, right? ”
"You can get a good night's sleep." He squinted his eyes and suddenly chuckled in a low voice, "Did you miss me?" ”
"No, it won't!" Shen Yu snorted softly, "In the past two days, the things in the bookstore and the bookstore have been done, although I don't have to go there in person, but I don't have to do anything to present the things, I still have to send some strange invitations here, and I can't be busy." ”
"Then I'll rub it for you later?" Xu Yan whispered, mixed with an inexplicable smile.
Shen Yu instantly understood the meaning of his words, and the strength of his subordinates couldn't help but increase, and he said angrily: "The sky is blue, what nonsense!" ”
"Where the sky is blue and the sun is shining, you can see that the lights are starting to be held outside." Xu Yan grabbed Shen Yan's wrist, stretched out his arm around her waist, and brought the beauty into his arms with a little force, "The night is four, it is a good day." ”
Shen Yan's face flushed slightly.
Although it has been a year since she got married, Xu Yan has always been immodest and unscrupulous in the house, but Shen Yan is still not used to it, and every time she is laughed at by him, she always feels awkward. She struggled to get up and escape from his embrace, "Your Highness hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, it's time to recuperate." Go to bed early tonight and make up for what you missed a few days ago. ”
"Early...... Not as good as now? ”
"Okay." Shen Yu didn't doubt him, "Look at Your Highness's eyes, the circles are dark, if you don't sleep again, what do others think of you." Ordered Sui Zhu and the others to prepare hot water, and dragged him into the inner room to wash.
But although Xu Yan had dark green in her eyes, her spirit was not too bad, and when Sui Zhu and the others withdrew, they began to make a fuss and asked Shen Yan to take a bath with her. Seeing her dodging, she simply caught someone with her clothes into the water, and now Shen Yu was helpless, and she couldn't escape his iron wall, so she could only watch him peel off his clothes one by one, with a proud face.
Shen Yu secretly hated, but at this time, her hair was wet and her clothes were gone, and there was no good place to escape, so she simply leaned on his arms and bathed together, which was a rare and comfortable time.
After the bath, the phoenix was upside down, and it was late at night when Xu Yan was exhausted, and Shen Yan curled up in his arms, obediently like a sleeping cat.
Although Xu Yan has not stopped for several days, she has not fallen asleep at this time, her palm fell on her Yingying's shoulder, and she felt reluctant in her heart, "Maybe I will go to Taining in a few days." ”
"What are you going to do in Tainyeong?" Shen Yan pillowed on the crook of his arm, and he was so lazy that he didn't even want to lift his head.
"There are some things to deal with, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for a month or two." couldn't help but tighten her arms and let her cling closely, "There are too many things in the capital, you may not be able to deal with it, I will leave Gu An, if you can't make up your mind about something, go find him." ”
"Doesn't His Highness take Gu An with you?" Shen Yan was a little surprised, moved back, and looked up at him.
"I won't bring it this time, I'm more relieved to leave him in the capital."
"But what about His Highness?" Although Shen Yan's mind was still chaotic, after a little speculation, she knew what Xu Yan was going to do, "There is still the emperor in the capital, and the Tsing Yi guard and the forbidden army are guarding, and there will be no big storms, but if His Royal Highness is alone, it is not good after all." ”
"It's okay, I've got someone to help me." He kissed Shen Yan's flushed face, "I can't rest assured that you are, if you accidentally leave the house, you stupid, I'm afraid you won't know if you're caught." ”
“…… Am I so stupid? Shen Yu pouted and thought about it, after all, she was different from Xu Yan, and this was not unreasonable.
Xu Yan grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and he is used to seeing sinister and treacherous, and in the past 20 years, he always knows how to guard against himself, and he is also more sensitive and responsive than others. On the other hand, she herself has grown up in a comfortable nest since she was a child, her father and mother doted on her brother and loved her, even if she is not a real child, she has hardly suffered any twists and turns, and her sense of smell in this regard cannot be compared with Xu Yan at all.
Even if Xu Yan arranged a lot of secret guards around her, with her current cultivation, ordinary traps can still be recognized, if she encounters an old and spicy person like Princess Leyang, she may really be caught without knowing it, and she will cause trouble for Xu Yan.
She felt a little frustrated, "I always seem to be holding His Highness back. ”
"I'm willing to be dragged by you." Xu Yan was merciless.
Shen Yan looked at him indignantly, her black and white eyes widened, and she wanted to say something, but Xu Yan didn't give her this opportunity, and quickly raised her head and sealed her lips before she could sneer at her.
A short soft touch suddenly evoked the softest feelings in her heart, and she buried her head in his shoulder socket again, "Your Highness is outside, be sure to take care of yourself." She felt that some words were nonsense, but she still wanted to say that she couldn't help it, "No matter how busy you are, you must eat well, and you are not allowed to be strong, and you are not allowed to care about your body." The ground is damp over there, so don't take it personally. ”
"Hmm." Xu Yan agreed.
"I can't help but take myself seriously, and I can't do anything like the last time I deliberately took the secret weapon of the Marquis Ning Yuan's mansion!" She was aggrieved, and her voice was a little choked, "You don't care about yourself, and you don't know how distressed others look at it." ”
This soft and coquettish voice fell in his ears, and Xu Yan was a little moved.
Some feelings surged up in his heart, and he half-propped up to look at her, "Auntie, you are the first one to say this to me." ”
